Play a Train Song ??? T. Snider
Intro: G D Em C
G D
Smoking long black Cadillac, the engines winding down
Em C
He???d park up on the sidewalk like he owned the whole damn town
G D Em C
I???d hear him talking to some chick, through a thick ghost of smoke
G D
Through a thicker haze of southern comfort and coke
He???d say ???you???re hotter than the hinges hanging off the gates of hell
Don???t be afraid to turn to me, babe, if he don???t treat you well
And by he, he meant me so I laughed and I shook his hand
He laughed a little bit louder as he???d yell up at the band
G D
Play a train song, pour me one more round
Em C
Make ???em leave my boots on when they lay me into the ground
G D Em C
I am a run away locomotive out of my one track mind
G D G
And I???m looking for any kind of trouble that I can find
I got this old black leather jacket, got this pack of Marlboro reds
I got this stash here in my pocket; I got these thoughts in my own head
The right to run until I got to walk or until I got to crawl
This moment that I???m in right now and nothing else at all
Play a train song, pour me one more round
Make ???em leave my boots on when they lay me into the ground
I am a run away locomotive out of my one track mind
And im looking for any kind of trouble that I can find
(Instrumental verse w/ harmonica)
In the television blizzard lights, we looked around his place
Found him cold there on the sofa, a little smile across his face
And though I tried with all of my sadness somehow I just could not weep
For a man who looked to me like he died laughing in his sleep
Singing a train song, drinking one last round
We made ???em leave his boots on, on the day they laid him down
He was a runaway locomotive out of his one track mind
Play a train song, play a train song; play a train song
